Lancashire Arts Development Team: Supporting great art which transforms lives and places.
Lancashire Arts Development Team provides opportunities for people in Lancashire to experience and participate in a wide range of high quality arts activities. We have a rich and varied cultural landscape in Lancashire excelling in theatre, literature, music, dance, as well the visual and digital arts. The role of the team is to work in partnership to support this vibrant arts infrastructure, all rooted in the people and places of Lancashire.
Our work is driven by the following key principles:
- Artistic impact - supporting work with real artistic vision and ambition that sits within the north west cultural landscape
- Social Impact - supporting work with clear and measurable benefits for people across Lancashire.
- Economic Impact - supporting work with clarity on how it contributes to the Lancashire economy in a real sense.
- Financial Match - supporting work that brings in additional resources to the cultural landscape in Lancashire.
